    Good info for those new to publishing, but maybe obvious to others. I basically live by the rule that if it bugs the crap out of me, it's gotta bug the crap out of someone else.

    Now off-set it against what works... It might not even be too far off the same order.

    Don't you like those mega-beautiful women with related ads bodypainted over their 'chest' and derriere who give you lap dances? Or don't you have those ads in the US of ol' A? :p

    I basically use the premise that if I dont like it- I dont do it. In my case, the du unto others rule seems to apply

    I don't think anyone with a brain in the right place needed telling about this. Sure it's interesting, but I haven't learnt anything here. I already know that everyone hates that stuff :)

    I think this article was meant for those people who do this kinda advertising despite the fact that everybody hates it. We still see these annoying superstitials on heaps of websites that block the screen you are working on, and fly around the screen :mad:

    Always good to have your theories backed up by statistics...

    Pretty obvious overall though...

    Dang... :(

    Then I'll have to change my newly created blinking slow loading "click here to win a million" pop-ups without a "Close" button, that takes up the full page while they floats around and plays anoying sounds all the time...

    Well well,, I guess I'll have to go back to the drawing table again.
    I was so sure I had a winner this time.. :p
